Odu,Hippos has always been a family but we had our bond.We were like Besty siblings in the fam.I feel even dissapointed in my own prayers because I was praying and believing that you would come out safe.What's there not to miss about you??The road trips while going I Hippos' games will be boring.Your company ,your taste of music and being a free spirit, always positive.You were the unifying factor and voice of reason at Hippos.What hurts most is that we were chatting minutes before the attack,I swear I hate this feeling .You responded at 14.20 and when I texted back it is marked as read at 15.22.The two blue ticks signified a permanent goodbye.Im super jelous of the angels.They have gained a gem as we have lost.You were really psyched about the Mbuzi and the Hike that hippos was planning.
Odu manze I have a million and one memories,how you took me to my first koth Biro game after I asked if it was a person or a place.
Such a noble,selfless, smart,funny, optimistic, outgoing and a person full of dreams.Rest in power,shine your way Odu!!!!

Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow and we may never get answers to the endless questions we have. You were a beautiful soul, full of love and life. You’ve ascended to Heaven, away from us but closer to God, leaving loneliness and sadness behind. We will forever cherish the memories. Rest in perfect peace Odu.

It's unfair...very unfair.My heart bleeds for your daughter...but I pray she gets to meet people who will tell her of how amazingly awesome you were. Though gone your spirit lives on. Lala salama Odoury

A great fun of soccer we had great moments together during the KPL fans days RIP bro

HI James. Never met you in person but have read lots of stuff about you and the energy you had put on local footballing world. Death through terrorism took you home. You played your part and impacted a lot of people on your way. Go well and rest in heavenly abode.

Man of the People. Football addict. A friend. I can't believe you are gone. Rest in peace brother

OduCobra, what is it that has not possibly been said? You will be missed. Forever treasured!!!
Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

I remember the first time I met you. I remember how we became such good friends. I remember you like I have known you my whole life. I remember our last chat (I should have at least checked up on you this last week, but as always I was waiting for you to check in, it's evident you were the better friend) I remember when you got that injury last year and still scored I was so proud, I didn't come to cheerlead that was supposed to be my job. Your personal cheerleader. I am supposed/expected to accept that I have lost one of my favorite friends just like that... But, I can't I'm too angry. You told me we will do better in 2019- I totally agreed, I missed matches you invited me to; all I wanted was to make it up to you. We/I have been robbed and I can't say that I don't hate it because I do. I hate it. I will miss you. You will always be my friend. My most heartfelt condolences to your family, your toi... May God give you guys strength and resilience. You have lost too much waay too much! If this is how I feel I can only imagine what anguish your family must be in. This should never have happened, too much collateral damage for nothing. I hope I'll see you again. I really do.

Buda. Manze. It still hasn't sinked in big man. Inaniuma sana.
Yote ni mipango yake mwenyezi mungu. To him we shall all return.
I guess they needed a strong soul up there. Keep on keeping on. Pamoja.

Too sad to learn of your demise Oddu.God plucked a blooming rose from his garden that's why all I can say is 'may his will be done'..Rest with the angels my friend...Your laughter lasts forever,your big heart is unforgettable..RIP 'COBRA'.

Bro, you touched many hearts, you were among the first to welcome me to KC. I recall the long chats we had in the hood and on our way home. Bro you had a gift, you brought happiness to all who you touched, you had that smile and glow that made everyone notice once you walked in a room, the football banter was worth it with you, may your family find peace and comfort from the Almighty Jehovah. Till i see you again cobra

The angels looked down from heaven one night.
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You'll always be within our heart
Until we meet again.
RIP Cobra.

Brother, you will dearly be missed. We celebrate you, all of us. You touched a lot of people and changed their lives in one way or the other. Your courage, selfless nature, charisma and loyalty will never be forgotten. Shine on brother.

You were a loved and generous man and will be missed and mourned by all. God bless you and may your friends and family find some comfort at this time knowing you’re an angel now watching over them. RIP kind Sir. God bless you.

Still struggling to come to terms with your sudden demise. How is this even possible?? The love for #ManchesterUnited brought us together and your maturity and caring self will be greatly missed in the team.
Angels don't die but If they close their eyes it's prolly just to catch a vibe with the Most High.
Thank you for the time that you shared with us, For the lives that you blessed and I can only pray for your everlasting rest. #RIPOduCobra

Hard to believe, No words at all on what to say......., really heartbreaking ~     May God rest you in peace!

In the midst of my grief, I faced the daunting task of crafting a eulogy for an extraordinary person, Odu Cobra,.There is something that is lost when you left.
EVERYTHING.

Manchester United Kenya will miss a loyal fan. And our football team will miss a leader and a brother. Thanks for all the memories and games we had together. Fare thee well. You will be received well by the legends up there. God bless your soul and May you RIP.

Words cannot describe this difficult moment, but if this is the last time I get to say goodbye then I know I will do so with the knowledge that I consider myself blessed to have lived this life as your friend and teammate pale #manunitedkenya
You touched so many lives by your selfless and countless acts of kindness, always giving and never expecting any favours in return. Your dedication to a cause was what set you apart..
The benefits of your hard work is a living testimony for the so many young men and women you took under your wings at a personal and profesional level.
RIP master

Gone too soon!! I lack words to express how I feel... we will always cherish you and remember you for the great person you were. Nind gi kwee

I don't know you but I'm so saddened by your death. Condolences to your family and friends.RIP James

It's hard to believe loosing such a humble friend and brother. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Rest Well My friend, my brother, my teammate. I am sad and angry at the senseless loss of life.

I luck words on what to say, I still think this is a bad dream that I will wake up from give a call and hear your well. It’s unfortunate what has happened and I can’t imagine how confused your kids are that daddy hasn’t come home. You were a major pillar in the community and you have left a big gap. Rest well my brother
